You will need to use the PV function in Excel or a financial calculator. In Excel the present value of a stream of monetary cash flows is given by -PV(rate, number of payments, payment amount) where rate is the interest rate. We enter the payment in Excel as a positive number. You can also compute the carbon cost per year and then discount those five values back to the present.

Ms. Susan is renovating her townhouse for a total price of $18,000. The work will be done in a month and she will start to rent the house to Mr. Sam with a monthly rental of $1,250. For how long time (in months) can Ms. Susan can break even from the renovation cost? (Complete the analysis in MS Excel Sheet and copy your analysis and answer here). Assume: • The annual maintenance cost is approximately $1,200. • Ms. Susan covers utility and electric bills which are approximately $200 every month. • The interest rate is 0.45%. • Present Value = Future Value/(1+i)^n

(i want answer in step by step) Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60 - watt incandescent light bulb costs S .41 and lasts 1, 000 hours. A 15 - watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.20 and lasts for 12, 000 hours. A kilowatt - hour of electricity costs $.117. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 9 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)
